The People Who Are Born Into Privilege Poem by Francis Duggan

The People Who Are Born Into Privilege



The people who are born into privilege but in some ways not unlike you and i
They too have been born as mortals and eventually too have to die
They are a symbol of class distinction the masses for this we can thank
The masses who uphold something ugly in this thing referred to as social rank

Also known as those born with royal blood though red is their blood just like ours when they bleed
To all others looked on by many as superior as if they are a non human breed
As if they are gods which they are not since none of them without some flaw
For those at the top of the social rank from others a different law

In the World there are millions of people who are homeless and hungry today
As the victims of human inhumanity in a fair World it would not be this way
We make gods of those born into privilege and in our greed for money poverty for many does create
In our admiration of those born into privilege class distinction we do celebrate

I have to admire the life's reaper the one with the scythe of death creates equality
The royals and billionaires and celebrities of the World will one day die like you and me
For this thing known as class distinction or in other words social rank
We can blame the gullible masses for this we have them for to thank.
